About me

Hey there!WhatsApp Image 2021-12-13 at 10.57.42

Welcome to my website! I´m Floor, I live in the suburbs of Utrecht in the Netherlands, together with one of my partners Tom (I’m polyamorous and believe you can have multiple people you love romantically at the same time), our four Siberian forestcats (Igor, Pjotr, Boris and Mila), our dog (Charlie), a rooster and two chicken (Snelle, Rosie and Downey). I’m childfree by choice. I am a doctor, I finished my residency in 2019 and have been working as a psychiatrist ever since. I want to start my own lifestyle coaching business, I think with my background, my experience and up to date knowledge about a balanced lifestyle, I can give clients something different in comparison to other coaches. I just need to have the courage to actually start 🤣.

Through Instagram people may know me as someone who has lost a lot of weight. I have struggled with my weight since the age of 10. I was (am) always either on a diet or eating everything in sight. It took me a lot of years, successes, setbacks, therapy and coaching to get to the point where I am now. I lost 52 kg (114 lbs) at one point in 2020. I’ve been struggling to stay on goalweight ever since. A big help and support has been (and still is) my partner Tom, who has also gone through a weightloss journey. He knows exactly how it is, what it takes and what needs to be done to keep the weight off.

Thanks for reading, if you have questions, just ask!WhatsApp Image 2021-12-13 at 13.33.34

  2. Checked out your blog, loving your food prep posts – I’m a huge fan of food prep! Was curious to see where you’re from, found Utrecht on here and had to smile as that’s where my dad was born and raised 🙂 Keep up the great work!

  3. Thank you for sharing.
    I could never get myself to be that open. I envy you for that…
    Like you, I struggled with my weight as a teen ( I broke an ancle and became less active but had never related it to gaining weight till now…so thanks for that, too. The much younger me hates herself less now and rather forgives herself thanks to you).

  4. This is a great blog and a great effort. I lost about 115 lbs and it was tough, but the toughest part is keeping it off. That is coming from three years experience after loosing the weight. It is a huge lifestyle change. Here in the United States our entire society seems to be focused on eating, which wouldn’t be so bad, if it was not focused on eating the wrong things. Keep up the good work, and never let yourself get discouraged

  5. It is an evelasting effort. I lost over a hundred pounds over a couple of years of changing habits as a teenager after many unsuccessful diets.
    I’m happy to say that I managed keeping it 30 years later. So I believe you too will never quit. It’s all in your mind.

  6. hi- I’ve seen from the comments you’ve already been nominated for one bloggers award, but I’m nominating you for another! I’m fairly new to this so don’t really know how they work, but I really like your balanced approach to health. As a trainer myself I dislike the extreme messages out there and obsessive clean eating, so your healthy attitude is wonderful. Anyway here’s the post where I’ve nominated you: https://thefitnessmonkey.wordpress.com/2015/04/19/one-lovely-blog-award/

    Keep up the good work! ☺️

  7. I found your blog through your instagram and am so inspired! Congrats on all your hardwork!! I’d love to know how you got into yoga / any tips, if you’d like to share?

    • Thank you! I got into yoga after I did a body balance course at the gym. I love to do it at home, but that’s risky because you can’t really see if you’re doing it right. So my tips would be to at least follow a few lessons and if you really want to do it at home, read a lot about it!

  8. Hallo Floor!

    Wat een razend interessante blog heb je – ik zou je graag iets willen vragen over jouw mooie meal-prep foto’s 🙂

    Zou je mij eventueel een mailtje kunnen sturen zodat ik daar op kan antwoorden?

    Ik hoop het!

    Hartelijks en fijne dag,
